From New Haven CT
An altar cross and candlestick stolen from a New Haven church during a vandalism spree have been returned.
The New Haven Register reports that the priest in charge of the Episcopal Church of St. Paul and St. James reports that the items were found Wednesday night by a church maintenance worker in a grocery bag on the church's front steps.
The Rev. Alex Dyer says the items were stolen early Saturday by one or more vandals who broke into the 19th-century church and broke four stained-glass window panes, two of them in the main window over the front doors. The linens on the altar and other items were strewn about, and a Bible was torn in half.
Dyer preached forgiveness for the persons responsible in his Sunday sermon.
